What's Cookin' Today Hour ONE:

It's Passover! We're Learning All About it with Manischewitz CEO Alain Bankier!

Manischewitz is the nation’s largest manufacturer of processed kosher food products. They’re also the number one baker of matzo or unleavened bread in the entire world. They produce hundreds of other kosher foods too, including baked goods, pastas, soups, gefilte fish, grape juice and borscht.

Under the Manischewitz, Horowitz Margareten, Goodman's and Season names, they sell their products to specialty food distributors in the United States, Canada and throughout the world––although from the homemade quality of their products, you’d think they came right from your Bubbe’s kitchen!

What's Cookin' Today Hour TWO:

What's New at The Rose Bowl? We're Talking with American Golf's Food and Beverage Director, Karen LuKanic, about the Brookside Restaurant!

American Golf Corporation manages the Brookside Restaurant Rose Bowl, along with more than 90 premier private, resort and daily fee courses in the United States. In addition to outstanding facilities and world-class service, they are dedicated to helping people of all ages and backgrounds learn and enjoy the game of golf.

Equally as important has been the commitment to improve the quality of life for those who live and work in the communities they serve. That's why they support local grass roots charitable efforts and initiate player development programs aimed at increasing opportunities for juniors, women and inner-city youths to learn and play the game of golf.

In addition, to strengthen the company's continued efforts to enhance and enrich the communities they serve, American Golf assisted in establishing the American Golf Foundation (AGF), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the game of golf and its ideals through charity, education and service to the community.
